Every person and every business is at risk of a lawsuit. In today’s world, gun shops need to make sure they are properly covered with customized liability insurance.

Below are some examples of recent lawsuits involving gun shops.

• The Chicago Tribune reported that “the city of Chicago on Monday sued a northwest Indiana gun store alleging it has sold hundreds of guns to straw buyers that wound up in the hands of felons or at crime scenes in the city.”
• A gun shop in Mason, Michigan was sued over a murder-suicide that happened with one of its guns. News channel WILX reports that a 30-year-old male took a gun from a gun shop over to Joann Fabrics and killed his ex-girlfriend and then committed suicide. “The lawsuit is seeking at least $25,000 for funeral and burial expenses, pain and suffering, loss of Duncan’s earnings and financial support. The next step is for the defendants to respond.”
• Not so much a specific lawsuit but California proposed a bill that would let shooting victims sue firearm manufacturers and sellers.
  • Times are changing. Gun shops used to be immune to lawsuits under a federal law in 2005. Nowadays, gun shops are becoming vulnerable to litigation.
